AMERICANA A-LIST: Is the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs saving one of the biggest — and to some minds, one of the best — for last? The AmericanaramA Festival of Music is arriving on Sunday, July 21, and the four-act lineup consists of Bob Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket and Ryan Bingham. We're still awaiting word on a start time, ticket prices and on-sale date.

ALICE AND JANE: And SPAC isn't done yet. If you can get past the Q-Ruption 2013 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival mouthful of a name while ordering tickets, you'll eventually get to see co-headliners Alice in Chains and Jane's Addiction on Tuesday, Aug. 13. Also on the bill are: Coheed and Cambria, Circa Survive, Walking Papers, New Politics, Middle Class Rut, Danko Jones and Chuck Shaeffer Picture Show. Tickets available starting today at noon.

RAMBLIN' MEN & HIGH HEELED BOY: Then on Wednesday, Aug. 28, Southern blues rock meets a more soulful, progressive kind from across the pond at SPAC with the classic rock double bill of the Allman Brothers Band and Steve Winwood. Get those tickets at 10 a.m. Saturday.

REGAN AGAIN: Known for years as one of the "clean comedians," veteran stand-up Brian Regan has also proved that's not a drawback to bringing the funny. Judge for yourself when he returns to our area on Friday, Dec. 13. Tickets go on sale to the general public 10 a.m. Friday.

AIRBORNE ARRIVAL: California indie rockers The Airborne Toxic Event will release their third studio album, "Such Hot Blood," next Tuesday. That's plenty of time to learn the new songs before the gang touches down at the Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park on Thursday, June 20. Leagues is on tap to open the show.

OSBORNE REBORN : Singer-songwriter Anders Osborne was born in Sweden and as a teenager he hitchhiked and performed in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, but when he got to America, and specifically New Orleans, it was all over. That's where the man has stayed and prospered since 1985. Hear the N'Awlins influence at the Putnam Den in Saratoga Springs on Friday, May 31.
